Autonomous Buses

Buses are a very challenging platform to apply autonomous systems to, primarily due to their inseparable relationship with large groups of pedestrians. IDTechEx has seen some applications of autonomous systems which are very promising, adding value to the existing bus operation without replacing the driver. Different bus types also have different opportunities, with minibuses having a different set of potential deployments than city buses for example. Minibuses, midibuses, and city buses are considered in this premium article, with the key and most promising applications highlighted for each. The article covers the key players across all these vehicle types and offers detailed analysis of the industry, players, operational models, and more.
